Man, the brother was so awesome! No wonder why he was the #1 warrior in the tribe and was promoted to their War Chief. He had two arrows and danced around the Predator and shot it like 4 times with the two arrows.

I would absolutely love more predator sequels to take place in different time periods it's such an amazing idea

"For the Comanche Nation" The end credits gave credit. Not many film makers take the time to do that. Fantastic addition to the Predator franchise. Definitely hoping for a sequel.

One of my favorite things, is that none of the Comanche/any characters blink for a SECOND when they see the predator. They just keep rolling, much like “ oh, really? I’ll process it later.” It’s always frustrating when they take stop an attack. No keep it going, process when it’s dead!

A lot of respect to the wolf. They're symbols of honor, courage, loyalty, and ferocity. The wolf bravely and fiercely battled the Predator, not backing down for a moment. Even though the wolf died, it earned the Predator's respect (if I'm understanding, that it took out the wolf's skull and spine, correctly) by proving its courage and prowess.

The battle with the grizzly is an all time moment for me in Predator history, much of the franchise, we’ve seen the creatures use mostly weaponry, and the few times they’ve fought humans one on one, it’s an obvious mismatch due to size, but never an actual proper gauge of just how strong predators actually are . In the grizzly scene however, we get to see that not only are predators strong, they have unearthly type physical power and unfathomable speed for their size.

It actually makes perfect sense that the Yautja develop more subspecies and differentiated variations as they are supposed to be an interstellar spacefaring species that colonized a wide variety of very different planets with endless array of climates

I say this on pretty much every video covering Prey, but as a Native American, I f'n LOVED how the Camanche were portrayed! I'm Oji-Cree, but Native American nonetheless. But I loved the correlation between the Predator and Naru, it was amazing. The Predator having landed on Earth for his rite of passage, and to possibly scout the land and see which prey would be worthy to hunt. Which is shown by the Predator moving up from a Snake to a wolf to a Grizzly Bear, and ultimately deciding that the humans were the prized hunt. And while the Predator was on his rite of passage, Naru wanted to do the same thing. Only Naru was expected to be a gatherer and a healer, being looked down upon by the other hunters and warriors, due to the hierarchy that their tribe has. This is what made Naru dangerous to the Predator, as she had the skill to beat the Predator, due to her being a better hunter. All the while the Predator had not seen her as a threat, and this was shown multiple times. With Naru being stuck in the bear trap, the Predator willingly let her go. And while Naru and her brother were also used as bait, the Predator instead went after the fur trappers, ignoring Naru and her brother. This also shows the hubris of the Predator and how petty the young Predator is. When the Predator had been foolish enough to step into the bear trap, the Predator used the bear trap as a weapon and threw it at one of the trappers. With Naru witnessing how the Predator fights and knowing the Predators code of honor, while also witnessing the Predator can be successfully baited due to it's own arrogance, Naru had planned her trap for the Predator. Factoring in the thermal vision, the mask' aim bot guidance system, the tactics of the Predator and the arrogance of the Predator, she made her plan. Knowing full well that when the Predator seen the carnage that Naru had caused to the trappers, the Predator must have mistook the one who killed the trappers as Naru's brother while underestimating Naru because she is a female, as the Predator had went straight for Naru's brother once he reveals himself. But her plan had succeeded, with the Predator dying at the hands of it's own hubris. Because Naru is *smarter than a beaver.* While the young Predator was *not smarter than a beaver.* Because like Naru's mother said, she became a great hunter once her survival was on the line. Beautiful movie, awesomely violent and jumps right into the action after character introduction.

I love how the predator in this film copies the other predators he observes, he observes the snake coil and strike towards him with its fangs, when fighting the wolf he coils and bares his fangs, like the snake. Same with the wolf, he observes it stalk its prey allowing itself to be closer when the inevitable chase happens, he uses the same with the last of member Naru's hunting party, when they're in the grass he stalks them and gets closer so once they flee he can catch them with ease like the wolf did with the rabbit, even the cinematography has the same feel as the wolf chasing the rabbit.

Prey did a successful job at capturing the thrill and ideas of the original film while incorporating the lore of the predator really well. While some might argue it is not as good as the original film it is far better than most of the sequels Also props for the indigenous representation.

7:49 "My boi has all the cheat codes activated." This is my favorite line in today's video.

I'm hoping to see more Sequels in the near future, showing us the Predator in Iwo Jima, Cambodia, Beirut and other places drawn by heat and conflict like Peter Keyes said in PREDATOR 2.

What is interesting about the Predator prey relationship is that Predators while on paper are superior always underestimate their prey. As stated by Naru’s mother they (her tribe) don’t hunt for sport but for survival. When Naru starts the film she is trying to hunt to prove something (not unlike the Predator). As the film progresses she has to switch her mindset to that of survival. The predator does not hunt for survival but for sport. This difference in mindset is why I believe Naru triumphs and the Predator does not. Humans in most (good) Predator entries are survivors.

This is way better than 2018's The Predator. It's a good thing the Feral Yautja isn't a hybrid, but much like the Super Predators, this one is a subspecies.

Of all the reviews/explained videos I’ve seen, you were the only one to mention that the feral predator was unblooded. 👍👍

I wish we could see a movie where the protagonist loses and predator wins. It could be done so well too.

One of the better reviews of Prey and how Naru’s applied critical thinking throughout the movie to gain an advantage on her hunt of the feral predator. Also worth mentioning that defeating the hunter was still a group effort as it had a tremendous amount of damage inflicted while hunting it’s way up the food chain. Even the wolf got a piece of it. The bear nearly killed it. The Comanche’s hunters were able to make him bleed before Tabbe chipped it up so much it had to cloak and retreat only to sneak up behind and him and kill Tabbe but not before he slowed the predator down with that last shiv to the leg. Leaving only Naru who tells the feral predator this is as far as you go, no more. This is it.

The lion hunt gets overlooked as it foreshadowed the ending. The brother wounded the hell out of the predator and the sister brought it home. I have a younger sister and I loved the writing of these two. What a movie!

11:10, that was a very sad scene, where Taabe sacrifices himself to save his sister.

I'm so upset that they didn't realize this in theater... Would have been sick in IMAX!

8:52, the scene where the French fur trappers try to load their weapons was hilarious, my dad and I said, "those guys are so dead." After they killed the Buffalo, in a scene reminiscent of Dances With Wolves, they deserved what was coming to them.

I absolutely love how well they did the Native American side characters, they didn’t just make them background characters but actually made them feel like people with lives (at least to my knowledge, please correct me if I’m wrong). I also love how well they did the feral predator, he was clearly much different to other predators we’ve seen, he was much more active and violent and did a lot of show boating which demonstrates his inexperience

“My boi has all the cheat codes”💀💀💀 love it dude

Feral is probably the most cunning and patient predator I’ve seen, as well as being very resourceful and adaptive considering how primitive his tech and weaponry are and despite him being a young blood.

the one thing that I like about this movie is the way the Feral approaches the prey. while they are a culture of warriors and honor, they are still doing this for fun. this is a form of entertainment. like during the fight with the trappers, you can tell that Feral is enjoying himself. it wants the hunt to go on longer, so it plays with its quarry

Awesome video Niyat, I haven't seen the film yet myself but I always love a bit of insight of what I'm going to be watching and this was just amazing just like the rest of your videos. Thank you for taking the time you do to make these videos as their crafted so wholesomely/fulfilling of knowledge is

nice to have a review from someone who not only understands the lore but gets into the predators' heads. of course a hulking alien with advanced technology would take out any human warrior of any time, except for it's own hubris. the devil is in the details and too many reviewers and critics don't fully understand the character before they dismiss things like naru growing up under her brother, who is the best hunter in their tribe and becomes a warchief during the events of the movie. not to mention that life is that of a native american, not one of a modern mall rat. she's going to be tough, she has the will to hunt and the will to fight. she wants to be a warrior. she's put in work to get there, just off screen. it's funny to me that the same people that whine about movies telling too much and not showing are the ones that aren't paying attention when the movie shows more than it tells. if this was a one armed male comanche it would be lauded as an outright amazing tale of overcoming a difficulty. but because it's about a female comanche, in a time where females would have been considered and treated as lesser, people go in with the assumption that it's 'woke' and naru's a mary sue. we see her fail. alot. we see her persevere. then ultimately after a great loss and battle she wins by using her strengths, which are obviously less physical to a predator, but perhaps more tactical. it's david and goliath. the classic underdog story. thanks for a review that recognizes that rather than compares her to something like rey who just all the sudden without any effort at all could wield the force and a lightsaber with ease. we never saw rey bleed. naru bleeds, and as we know if it bleeds, we can kill it.

I've loved the Alien and Predator Universe since I was a kid in the early 90's, my dad loved Alien and got me hooked into the lore of both Apex Killers. From Comics, Books to Films and Game's this Film more than delivered

dude you read my mind! i've just rewatched your predator playlist after hoping you release this exact video soon! legend.

Crazy that we got a pretty faithful but still unique predator movie for a change, The design of the feral predator is totally awesome.

I hope we have more Predator movies that’s takes place historical periods like a single Yautja or a group of hunters came to seek a worthy opponent in the Feudal Japan era (since both the Predator and Samurai have their code of honor) like the Ronin Samurai Warrior. There is a short story in the ‘Predator: If It Bleeds’ novelization.

This was a damn good movie. I had zero expectations, leaning on more negative, but oh boy... this actually blew me away. Real nostalgic/Predator 1 vibes. Maybe cause of the brutality and horror aspects.. Really cool cast and all around. Some really cool camera work and cinematography too. Like they took The Revenant and threw a Predator in there. In the best way possible. Seriously 5 stars.. Will be a must buy on BluRay.. I cant wait to hear that god damn roar in 7.2. Ty Ty!!

I absolutely loved this movie, the way naru was able to survive just barely and bested the same feral predator was amazing. As a native I can only hope for my sequels.

Need that 3rd Prometheus movie now.

I love Niat's (Nyadt? Nyant? Idk) slight humourousness in these videos, especially this one. "Naru gets KOd by gravity" "My boy the Feral Predator has all the cheat codes activated"

Thanks for this I was anticipating you covering this film

I really appreciated the display of honor code in the film: from the snake, wolf, bear, protagonist to the Frenchmen, the Unblooded only matched what each brought to the fight for the most part. Love your breakdowns!

YYYEEEZSSSSSSSS! I’ve been waiting

Thank you for posting this video! Really enjoyed it!

This was by far the best upload you have done in a while... really enjoyed it.. looking forward to the next one you cover...

Me and my proud native family absolutely love this movie.

Watched this movie twice now (reg and Comanche with English subtitles). A solid addition to the predator franchise. Loved that the makers of Prey took a step back to Predator and having a easy story that I really enjoyed (doesn’t mean it’s lesser quality).

Your breakdowns are very succint and interesting. Enjoyed this. Well done. 👏🏾

I watched it last weekend and I constantly checked yt for your take and now it's finally here.

I loved this movie, I hope they make more movies soon, I’ve watched all predator and alien movies☺️ Also the way it caught the bear trap after it tossed it up was a cool move

OMFG!!!!! I legit didn't know this movie existed until now. I'm working from home and I had to log onto my personal computer real quick to find this movie. Found it on a free site but I have hulu so I'll watch it there. Thanks alot for this video.

This is the review I have been waiting for!!!

Every time I watch a movie I come to this channel to get some extra context. Love your videos bro!

This movie is solidly better than the rest of the modern predator movies, that makes this movie solidly okay

excellent!

I just watched Prey yesterday and after watching I IMMEDIATELY ran to you channel lmao! I was bummed that there was no videos but a legit day late and I’m blessed with this😩🔥 keep up the great work

Good video bro….looked up “prey explained” and your video poped up. Well said man!💪🏼

I’ll be honest, when I first saw the trailer, I was doubtful. One of the things I had a problem with is how Naru was going to possibly come out on top, given the massive technology gap between the Camache tribe and the Yautja species alone. I now realize that I was making the same mistake that the predator did! It was clearly very inexperienced and overconfident in its own abilities, whereas Naru being at a disadvantage forced her to be more resourceful and tactical. In the end the predator’s ego was its downfall. Great movie👍

Honestly surprised and happy to see some First Nations representation

Finally the real deal for so many videos on this movie I was waiting for a expert to give their opinion nice Video

I was waiting for you to make this video

I gave this 8/10. I liked how they represented Native Americans being portrayed in a more positive light instead of seeing them as the villain in the story. Even though the Comanches were vicious killers, I think Dan Trachtenberg wanted to show the audience they are just human like everyone else. I'm Navajo on my mother's side and I think they did a pretty good job on making this movie.

I love how we see Naru and the predator evolve their hunting styles throughout the movie, mirroring each other almost perfectly. Both are hunting in the beginning to try and prove something and incredibly inexperienced because of it, but as the movie goes on both learn from the predators around them (Naru from the predator itself, the predator from the wolf, bear, snake, hunters, etc) and both are at their peak when they stop hunting for pride and instead fight for survival.

Watched this and it left me wanting more so watching your video and you explaining some things I missed was nice. Especially the end credits where they came to honor her

Thank you for the video

Definitely better then the last movie I love it

I love the design of the predator in this movie

The meme terms are absolutely glorious in this video, keep it up lad

amazing video Niya love your videos

Another excellent vid. You edit and put things in a way that are easy to understand

I love that this predator is less advanced technologically than the ones we see later

I could listen to you talking about the pred/alien universes for hours and hours. I know this because I have already and hope to do it again as you continue to upload!

Best video yet been watching u all day

personally I think this is the best installment in the series. Everyone saying "how could a girl take down the predator" like its not a predator that has taken out men like rag dolls. Its very clearly NOT about strength and physical abilities to take down a predator, which is why I loved this movie so much, it was about using the surroundings to your advantage and taking note of your opponents weaknesses.

I would love to see you explore more on the feral predator. Like why it looks different and stuff. I think the feral predator is a nice addition to the franchise!

Great work 🥳 Thank you 💜

Absolutely love your channel by the way!!

I know everyone in these comments hope we see more predator movies knowing how well prey did hoping we see more higher ranked predators and more of their history love the predator series 👍👌

I wanted the original ending. Where a group of predators decloak in front of her only to trade her a predator tech "tomahawk" for the pistol and they collect their fallen and disappear into the forest. This would have closed the loop from predator 2 while showing that they respect any sentient creature capable of taking one of theirs down.

I was waiting for this

Fantastic Predator film. Short film, but did not disappoint. The speed and strength of the Predator was all there. Felt like a comic book. Want more Predator films like this.

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊

The movie was great and I love seeing the predator having a close combat with one of the Comanche and lose. He had to use his camouflage to win. Awesome gear and predator stuff. The simalaritys between the girl and the predator

Beautifully explained 👏🏽 👏🏽

Loved this one! Me and my bro lived through the games and movies this was a treat

My main gripes with this movie were the fact that the predator constantly fought with its camo active, which seems highly dishonourable to me. Also the fact that the camo wasn't turned off by the water.. The other was that the main character displayed a serious lack of emotion all around, despite being witness to some really heavy and potentially traumatic events.

I'd like to see a Predator fight Maori. I heard they're all clones of Jango Fett, in the land of wizards and shit

Great vid!

I enjoyed this video as well. I've watched all your predator videos

I absolutely loved prey… It was an area of the the predator lore which had been overlooked and ignored in favour of other unfortunate story choices… Thanks for an awesome video!

It's going to be crazy, if Batman meets the Predator (Batman v Predator)....

Great video bro. Love the movie but more importantly, the environment man.

this was cool, thanks!!

I still go by the dark horse comics that show how the predator from the second movie got the gun from the pirate when they fought off the his crew alongside that predator before he gave it the gun but overall prey was good movie. Hope we get more predator movies set in different time periods with having a predator win sometimes

I thought it was a good movie I know a lot of people were calling it woke and hadn't even seen it yet. I would like to see future Predator movies that are set in places like Vietnam or let's say the Predator comes and hunts during the battle of Peleliu. My great uncle who was a Montford Point Marine fought in that battle as well as the battle of Okinawa.

Loved this

Now I definitely have to watch Prey... Great breakdown.

This movie was a badly needed fresh take on the franchise.

Can't watch this yet because I'm saving this movie to watch this weekend, but damn excited for this! Reviews have been great and we need a good predator movie after the last embarrassing pile of crap we got in the franchise.

Definitely looking forward to watching this movie.

Bruh I love the comments this man makes “Proving that he was a Gigachad in close combat”.

The only part I didn’t like was how did the damn predator not know his dart would go wherever the laser targets. Did he think he just had goat aim or what lol

well, as i believe you've even shown in your older videos, the origin story of the gun is completely different in the comics...but even so, this actually looks like a decent predator movie. A surprise to be sure.

Just watched this movie and it is amazing. The predator vs the French was insanely awesom. My favorite one of the franchise so far.

Great video! I just watched this last week with some family I honestly find this to be a really good concept. I never really got into the predator series but I thought this one was great. I like the fact it was released on hulu instead of in theaters. These titles from what I can tell are usually about 150 minutes long. But this seemed like a great release for a streaming platform with a 100 minute runtime. When they release these in theaters there's a lot more hype surrounding it and seems to be a lot more prestigious and there would be way to much filler. But with this title it seems more simplistic and to the point. They didn't really have any filler witch means they had a lot more time for it to breathe. I honestly rate this a 10/10.
